The robotics section of this site has been completely updated for the 2017 Edition of the ISSEA STEM Festival. Botball is back and has released their 2017 game. As much as possible we will be sticking to their official rules and rulings, so getting registered and logged into your official Botball team home base is your best source of information for now.

We are also excited to announce a fun, invitational robot sumo tournament. Most schools already have a Lego Mindstorms robotics kit or two somewhere around the school. Track a kit down, and try your hand at one of the most popular robot sports in the world. It's easy to get started, but there are lots of advanced engineering, programming and strategic possibilities for the true masters. Check the robotics section of this site for a Team Handbook and complete set of rules!

I'm back in the forums, so start posting all your robotics-related chatter!

Philosophy

​Providing an arena for like-minded students to compete, collaborate, ​communicate, and demonstrate strengths in academic areas that are rarely celebrated.

Rationale

“Educating students in STEM subjects teach students how to think critically and how to solve problems — skills that can be used throughout life to help them get through tough times and take advantage of opportunities whenever they appear.”​STEPHEN F. DEANGELIS
